The Second-Century Apologists

The book delves into the defense mounted by early Christian Apologists against accusations of atheism, cannibalism, and incest. It explores how Christians rejected the immoral practices associated with pagan cults and emphasized their commitment to true theism. By clarifying misconceptions about the Eucharist and their communal love, the Apologists sought to demonstrate that the charges against them stemmed from misunderstandings of their faith and practices, highlighting their moral integrity and dedication to caring for others.
